The pages slowly grew during the remainder of November and December, and eventually I decided to split them away from the rest of my website, giving them a directory of their own and treating them as a separate site. During the Christmas/New Year vacation I had the chance to completely re-work the pages, improving the HMTL and giving them a cleaner look. And since Santa had left a scanner under the tree for me, I had plenty of new photos to add :-) So returning to the University and thus my net access in early January, I had quite a lot of new stuff to upload - including a name for the site - "100% Melanie C"

January to March saw more and more visitors arriving, and more and more work on my part to keep the site fresh, especially given the increased amount of Spice stuff in the media. Unfortunately, near the end of March the traffic levels had grown to such a level that the University decided they could no longer host the site on their server, and asked me to remove it. Well, I wasn't prepared to just throw away 5 months of work, so 3 weeks of searching revealed a webspace provider with near perfect facilities, and the site was reopened in mid April.
Since then, the site has grown, and grown, and grown. Visitor numbers have done likewise, and although they're down on their peak levels of mid-1998, the site still gets more visits per week than it did in total before the move.

Enough of the waffle, you want to see what the "site" looked like all those months ago, so here it is!
